Gloeothece parvula sp. nov.

Plate 3, figure 30

Families containing up to 32 cells, but usually 8-16, free or
collected into small masses among other algae, not forming a
definite stratum alone, 12-18 m diam.; cells cylindrical, 1.2-1.5 m
diam., 2-3 times as long as the diam., pale aeruginous; tegument
hyaline, homogeneous, ample, 3-4 times as thick as the diameter
of the lumen of the cell.

Growing in association with numerous other species of Myxo-
phyceae, near Hato Arriba, Arecibo, no. 1410 b, type.

The above-described species of Gloeothece is apparently a
near relative of G. cotifluens, a species, as a rule, with only two
cells in a colony.
